If there’s one person that should be the most excited about the arrival of Pastor Matthew Schilling, it’s got to be the church secretary – right?

“It’s been hard to contain the excitement,” said Janet Levetzow, who mans Trinity’s church office. “It’s been quite a journey the last couple of years, but God has provided, and I am ready to move ahead.”

Pastor Schilling will be installed as Trinity’s full-time Associate Pastor on June 11 at 2 pm. in the church. There will be a reception in the Fellowship Hall after the service to meet Pastor Schilling and his wife, Karen, and their three children, Micah, Clara and Caleb.

Pastor Schilling’s arrival marks the first time in 867 days – Pastor Vokt was called home on Jan. 25, 2021 - that Trinity will have two full-time pastors on staff.

“It will be wonderful to watch as the pastors and staff lead Trinity into the future,” Janet said. “Our families, the school parents and students need to know about Jesus. The days are challenging, but I’m excited to see how things work out.”

So are others.

“It will be a blessing to have Pastor Schilling working on strengthening our Family Ministry,” said James Ullman, who teaches first grade and is a member of Trinity’s Elders Ministry Team.

“Pastor Schilling will be a new set of eyes for Trinity – seeing things from a different view,” said Lisa Lindholm, who is a member of Trinity’s Board of Directors.

It’s OK to be super excited – even if you are not the church secretary.

Things are moving with the Education Savings Account (ESA) process.

Below is a summary of the new law, which phases in an ESA program over the next three school years:

2023-2024 school year: An ESA is available to all Iowa students entering kindergarten, students transferring from a public school or home school within Iowa, and Iowa students currently enrolled in a private school living in a family with an income of less than 300% of poverty level guidelines.

2024-2025 school year: An ESA is available to any student who received an ESA in the previous year, plus all incoming kindergarteners, and currently enrolled private school students living in a family with income of less than 400% of poverty.

2025-2026 school year: An ESA is available to all K-12 Iowa students, regardless of family income.

In year one, the value of the ESA is $7635 - the amount that will be placed into an account for the benefit of one named student. The account will remain active as long as the student continues their K-12 education in a certified nonpublic K-12 school. Funds left over after graduation or transfer to a public school are returned to the State.

If you believe your total family income may fall below 300% of the federal poverty guideline, we encourage you to apply.
